f in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania; have invented new and useful Improvement in Puzzles of which the following is a specification. I Thls inventlon relates to puzzles of that class in which a form of redetermined size and configuration is-divi ed into parts, the

object ot'the puzzle being to assemble the 'Thepuz'zlelhiade in accordance with my invention preferably comprises a member made in the shape of a cross. 4 I divide this cross into a number of substantially Z- slha ed members and a series of elongated lihpedmembers. v a

In the drawing the parts assembled.

']F1g. 2 is a plan of the same showing thev parts separated.

Referring to the drawing it will be seen that the'assembled parts form a member in the shape of a cross. The parts may be formed of any suitable material such as cardboard, metal and the like. The cross is composed of three members, indicated by the 4 reference numeral 1 of substantially Z-shape,

that is, 'composed of a straight part having each'end, bent-at right angles and' in opposite directions It will be seen that the four long sides of the member are of equal len h.

The cross also consists of a pair of mem ers .1

2 of substantiallyL-shape, though the vertical member '3 is of much greater length than the horizontal member 4;. It will be seen that the member 4 is ofthe same dimension as the end portions of'the member 1. The

two members 2 are placed togtltel; with part 4 of one member engaging the end of the part 3 ofthe other member, thus forming the lower part of the cross, this part being of twice the thickness of the parts 3. The members 1 are then placed together with one of the members in vertical position and the other two 'in.. horizontal position as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and then the said members are placed in engagement with the members 2. Itwill thus be seen that afigure in the sha e of a cross is formed. F gure 1 '15 a perspective view showing members of substantially Z-shape placed together to form a cross 2. A puzzle compnsmg a pair of members of substantially |L.'-shape, one part of the IL being of much greater length than the other part, and three members of substantially Z-shape of less length than the L-shaped members, placedtogether to form a cross.
